FORECAST

🌡RECORD COLD TONIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY🌡

The coldest night of the year is on the way with a low of 22° expected in San Antonio by sunrise tomorrow morning, but outside of the city, especially across the Hill Country, teens are likely. The record low for Thursday in San Antonio is 26°, set during the ‘big freeze’ of 2021, but that’s likely to fall.

🧥COLD UNTIL SUNDAY🧥

Bottom line, plan for jacket weather all day, every day until Sunday. Until then, most mornings will be below freezing, and afternoons will range from the mid 30s to lower 40s. Conditions change by Sunday afternoon when temperatures should climb into the mid 60s with sunshine, then next week we’re expecting upper 70s.

☔RAIN & WINTRY MIX CHANCES FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY☔

Increasing moisture and a few other factors will lead to thick clouds Friday and Saturday, and a few sprinkles are possible especially Friday night into Saturday morning. Temperatures could be cold enough for a few sleet/ice pellets on Friday, but it would *not* get in the way of travel or typical daily activities – more of a “gee whiz” factor. By Saturday morning, a light glaze of ice is possible on some elevated surfaces such as street signs, parked cars, decks, etc., but travel disruptions are unlikely at this time. Overall precipitation is expected to be very light with minimal accumulations, but check back for updates as the weekend nears.

☀BIG WARM-UP NEXT WEEK☀

In true Texas form, we’ll be near 80° by Tuesday!
